Amos 5:18-20

Let Justice Roll Down

¹⁸ Woe to you who desire _l the day of the Lord!
Why would you have the day of the Lord?
_m It is darkness, and not light,
¹⁹ _n as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
²⁰ _m Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
